help with width and blog, my myspace is messed up Options

[Amie91280]

I've been playing around with Xanga layouts for a while and got pretty decent at them, so today I decided to try a myspace layout. BIG mistake! On my profile, the text area is so big, you can't see the background and on the blog section, it's coming up transparent where I type anything. Here are my codes if anyone would be nice enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

My Myspace

Here's the code I used under the "about me" section:

Thanks for any help!

i believe this is your problem:

CODE

TABLE, TD {background-color:FFDDDC;border:none; border-width: 0px; color:6A441F; font: normal 12px arial; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; width:400px; text-align:justify;}

erase the width:400px; and it might work better...
